Hi all,

Is there a way in BlitzMax to call an operating system (shell) command? Such as opening Notepad/TextEdit, or running a BAT file or script?

I can' seem to find any Blitz command that does it. I know we can probably import some system library, but I'd like to find something that is platform independant.

Thanks.
